Wow - this is really good! The Lasagna in the title has to go though! This is a Tex Mex dish without a smidgen of Italian. I softened the cream cheese to the extent that I just mixed all of the ingredients in a bowl, by hand, and it did fine. I don't have a lot of patience anyway to cut 16 oz of cream cheese into little pats. I also mixed the shredded cheese in but won't do this next time as it needs that color for a topping. One son wouldn't touch this because of its' "gastric" appearance. He missed out! I served this as a small meal in between a late Sunday breakfast and dinner. Be warned - this makes a TON! It really filled the entire 9 x 13 pan! This is very filling and rich and is to be served with sturdy chips.

As Rachel Ray would say...YUMM-O! I made this for a party, and it was scooped up quickly! I followed someone else's suggestion, and after layering the cream cheese, threw it in the oven for 5 mins to soften it up a bit, then spread it out, and THEN added the shredded cheese. This is definatly a make again!

I've made this tons of times and it is by far our favorite hot mexican dip. The cream cheese is a great touch and it's worth the effort to cut it up and not mix it in. It's easiest to cut if you put it in the freezer for 15 minutes and then cut with a cheese slicer. This dip does requires a sturdy chip. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a different Mexican dip. It will soon become your favorite as well.

Pretty good dip. Needs more cream cheese and less meat and beans though. That's just me, I like gooey cheesy. I liked it for a change of pace from regular cheese dip. It made enough I was able to make it on two different days. The first day I layered it as directed. The next day, I spread the cream cheese in a pie plate, then the meat and beans mixture, then cheese. I really liked it best that way. It just went together more smoothly.

We enjoyed this more the next day with hot sauce added. The cream cheese didn't melt and spread like I thought it would. The cheddar cheese looked hard. Will make again but with some changes. Salsa needs to be hot. Only 1 can of refried beans is necessary. Didn't feel the chili peppers added a thing. Will try cooking the beef with taco seasoning for added flavor. We like spice. Thanks for the recipe.

My husband likes this best without the cream cheese and cheddar cheese. I love it with both. However, I found it very difficult to spread the cream cheese on top (even if you do cut it up) and will just mix it in next time.
